I flew the day lights out of mine last week, I just love it. I switched from a 16x8 to a 18x6 prop last night so I'm interested to see how it flies now. It snowed this past week so it will have to wait till we get a thaw, this is one plane I won't put on skis. Also after moving things around I was able to remove 12oz of lead out of the nose, so know it's under 12lbs. Should be fun.
